"Given these definitions, we can now prove all necessary vector space axioms."
And that is just the first howler. This person never bothered to learn the subject they are expounding on.
- eigenket 3y agoThe article is by no means perfect, but that "howler" sees completely fine to me. If you want to prove something is a vector space the standard way would be to prove that all the vector space axioms hold for it.
- keithalewis 3y agoYes. Prove the axioms hold for a space of functions. Very sloppily written article.
- eigenket 3y agoI wouldn't describe that as sloppy. If it was written in isolation it would be a bit weird but given the context I think its completely fine.
